Jewish Life in Würzburg (1,5h)

Würzburg has been home of Jewish faith for more than 900 years. In the middle ages, Würzburg was an important center of Jewish faith and philosophy thanks to the Talmud School and its rabbis. In the following centuries times of persecution happened periodically. In the 17th century, the prince bishops evicted Jews from the city and surrounding areas and it was not until the 19th century that a Jewish community got reestablished in Würzburg. The Nazi dictatorship eclipsed with the deportation of Jews to concentration camps. Today, the Jewish community of Würzburg is again 1100 members strong.
